Automatic Railway Crossing System.

Abstract

Transport is exceptionally vital to carry the loads and products from one corner of the country and abroad to the other and for this reason Bangladeshi Railway play exceptionally vital part. Bangladesh's railway framework generally employments normal manual railway crossing method or boom entryways through its 2,955.53 km rail course all over the nation. The accidents are regularly happening within the railway intersections due to not having implement perceptible and quickly operating gate framework, additionally for less security measures within the railroad crossing. Right now, there are exceptionally few programmed railway crossing frameworks (without obstacle detector) accessible, be that as it may all of them are without a reinforcement arrange for any emergency cases. Intelligent traffic systems for railway object detection have become the focus of research in recent years. This paper suggests an approach towards an intelligent and automatic management of a railway transportation system in order to prevent hazards like collisions. The system is designed as such that it is most viable for Bangladesh, however, it can also be easily implemented at any other railway infrastructure. The system features active train detection using IR sensor coordinates and obstacle detection at level crossings using Hydraulic road; automatic signaling and gate control at level crossings using light emitting diodes (LEDs) and servo motors; automatic and manual communication between trains and level crossings .Our design includes the integration and interaction of four separate sub-systems: central control system(based on Arduino UNO) , hydraulic road control system, automatic gate control system and train system. We design to use infrared (IR) sensors to operate the railway crossing systems which will be controlled by the Arduino Uno. Implementation of such a system in Bangladesh Railway will not only provide a comprehensive level of safety in railway transportation but also take Bangladesh a step forward towards the much-anticipated dream by Bangladesh government of creating a „Digital Bangladesh‟. The main aim of this project is to reduce train accidents at railway level crossings to the minimum. Experimental studies show that the proposed methodology provides a more cost effective, reliable and simpler railway gate controller than existing dominant work.
